- THEFT IN THE RAIN
- Dr. Stone said coolly, "That's putting it on your own doorstep."
- His mother's voice cut through his thoughts. "You're going over, David?"
- The boy said: "I like to watch him do that."
- Joe blinked. "How do you know?"
- Dr. Stone's face was impassive. "I gather that means something to you?"
- A voice called: "Dr. Stone! Dr. Stone!"
- Joe ran for home. "Uncle David! They've arrested Donovan."
- Dr. Stone put away the pipe. "Joe, you'd better run home."
- The boy had not expected this. "But----"
- Joe wet his lips. "It was Mr. Kent?"
- Light broke upon the boy. "I see it now. You found something?"
- VOICES IN THE NIGHT
- THE UNKNOWN FOUR
- Chill shook the boy's teeth. "A dead man can't hurt anybody."
- Waring flared. "Stop that confounded dog."
- Lawton jumped. "Did you have to do that?"
- Fred Waring jumped angrily to his feet. "Look here, Doctor----"
- Dr. Stone sat up straight. "The Calico Heiress?"
- Lawton gave a grunt of distaste. "Ugh! Who could eat food now?"
- Freeman chuckled. "Are you a music critic, too, Doctor? If what?"
- The blind man did not move. "Lady, get him."
- BLIND MAN'S TOUCH
- The girl colored rosily. "I usually give him my own messages."
- Captain Tucker said: "Where does this second check come in?"
- The captain cleared his throat. "That first check was the forged check?"
- Again the cashier's hands moved. "So Mr. Pelle says."
- Dr. Stone asked: "Did Albert Wall give you a description?"
- The cashier was surprised. "Four or five years."
- The cashier lifted a white face. "How did you know that?"
- BIRTHDAY WARNING
- The doctor was surprised. "You know they're there?"
- The doctor's surprise increased. "Alec, too?"
- Joe stared. "How did you know?"
- The boy's heart missed a beat. "You think the gypsies--"
- The blind face was a tranquil mask. "Aren't you?"
- The morose man flared. "Of course not. Why should I?"
- The blind man's ears had etched the picture. "A spirited animal, Bruce."
- It was Joe who answered. "Isn't she a beauty?"
- Joe spoke in a whisper. "What crime, Uncle David?"
- Dr. Stone spoke softly. "What are they doing, Joe? Eating?"
- THE HOUSE OF BEATING HEARTS
- The boy gulped. "N--nothing."
- The doctor asked: "Were you thinking of buying, Fred?"
- The boy felt the chill again in his spine. And yet----
- Dr. Stone's voice, low and clear, came out of the darkness. "Lady!"
- The doctor's voice, in the darkness, was steady. "Frightened, Joe?"
- The boy fought for control. "Not--not when I'm with you and Lady."
- Joe compelled himself to make the inspection. "No, sir."
- Dr. Stone asked: "How did the boy die, Tucker?"
- Mr. Sweetman's eyes shifted. "I do not say."
- AS A MAN SPEAKS
- Captain Tucker sighed. "I was hoping you would."
- The doctor said, surprised: "I didn't know he had a brother."
- Captain Tucker shrugged. "In a way. Cory has burst forth with a wild----"
- The doctor asked a question. "Where are we, Joe?"
- Joe's throat ached. "On the driveway to the barn."
- Dr. Stone's lips formed to a soundless whistle. "Boothy's blood?"
- Dr. Stone held out the slip of paper. "How much is it for, Joe?"
- ARM OF GUILT
- Captain Tucker answered. "Four o'clock."
- The doctor said quietly: "How did you come to get the note, Ira?"
- Dr. Stone's voice cut in. "Where's his room?"
- The agent was galvanized into more rapid speech. "The 6:29."
- Mr. Foster hurried toward them with pathetic haste. "Any news?"
- The captain made a merciful answer. "I'm not sure."
- Dr. Stone said: "Could Ira get Lady a drink, Foster?"
- A voice called from the house: "Captain Tucker! Telephone."
